Lyrics

I fell in love last year, I think I must’ve been blind;
that was some damned quicksand

I gave and gave, and I felt like I was being played
like some poor cowhand.

I finally took my heart back
and I sent that taker to a crooked den.

I’ll never hold out that long
for someone’s lies and schemes again!

Gonna find me a less lethal way to get back to Heaven.
Gonna find me a less lethal way to get back to Heaven

I got a pal named John, he’s gonna write a book;
he says he needs my hand.

But I’m convinced that he’s got everything he needs
inside his handsome head.

I think he doubts himself from time to time,
like that other friend.

The difference is that he’s not compromised by pride;
he knows that ship’ll sink him.

Gotta find him a less lethal way to get back to Heaven.
Gotta find him a less lethal way to get back to Heaven
.
Grief is not my favorite color.
Grief is not a worthy friend.
Grief is just a grievance grieving
Justifying its own end.

The summer days they come and then they float away
like my hard earned cash.

The motherfuckers’ game is rigged to trample your pride
then deplete your stash.

The only thing the flinch at is a guillotine
rolled into the square.

As the French, they’ll tell you
who prevails to survive and care!

gonna find us a less lethal way to get back to Heaven…
gonna find us a less lethal way to get back to Heaven…
gonna find us a less lethal way to get back to Heaven…
